How to Draw a Kirin for Kids

These fantasy lessons for kids are really getting more fun everyday to create. I wanted to do something that was a little more exciting and a bit fantasy-ish. So here is "how to draw a kirin for kids", step by step. These fantastic looking beautiful horse looking creatures are one of my favorite mythology creatures from lore. They can look like anything you want, but should have the basic characteristics as far as creation goes. These horses have long manes that touch the ground, and their tails are long but not as bushy as a real horses tail. I actually made a lesson on drawing a kirin before a while back, but I like this version much better. Anyways, I think that all you fantasy myth lovers will fall for this lesson on drawing a kirin for kids because to me it's not only cute, its beautiful. I have to go right now but I shall return. Adios people and enjoy!....

Step 1

Begin by making two shapes, one for the head and the other for the body. Connect the two shapes with a neck line which should also be made in the position the neck will be in.

Step 2

Next, start drawing your kirin from the side starting with the ear, then make the shape of the face including the snout and horn. Once that is done draw the long curved neck which then turns into the chest. With a new stroke, draw the first leg but make sure the end of the hoof has long hair flowing from it.

Step 3

We will continue to work on one side of the kirin's body by drawing the length of the mane. Notice how it touches the ground. Draw the wavy long hair like you see here, then draw the other front leg as well as the hoof. Before you leave draw a thick, bold lined eyelid then make the shape for the eyeball. Add a nostril then you're done.

Step 4

We will finish drawing the kirin's body excluding the tail. Make the wavy pattern for the back part of the mane, then draw the back, butt, and hind legs. The hair should also flow off the bottom of the hooves like the front legs.

Step 5

Finish off this fantasy figure by drawing the crimped flowing long tail, then add all the strand detailing on the mane and tail. Draw a hoof as well as the toe lines. Erase the mistakes you made before you leave this step.

Step 6

Now that you're done you can start coloring in your kirin that you just created. I hope you had fun, as well as enjoyed this lesson on drawing a kirin for kids style.
